Book Review: Destined for Doon by Carey Corp & Lorie Langdon


MacKenna Reid has finally settled into her budding career as an actress, and it’s everything she hopes it would be. Or is it? MacKenna loves to act, but her life is missing the people she loves most - namely her best friend Veronica and the love of her life, Duncan McRae. MacKenna realized that she may have made a huge mistake leaving them behind in Doon in order to pursue her dreams. But now she is called back to Doon to help save the kingdom once more. Will she change her mind this time?

After reading Doon, I was looking forward to reading the sequel, and it did not disappoint me. Conflicted romance is again intermingled with suspense and danger. Destined for Doon introduces new characters and plot details which will no doubt play a greater role in the third book. The use of allegory to communicate Christian themes was not as apparent as in the first book, but it was still very well done. The series targets young adult readers, but I would also recommend it to adults who enjoy fantasy. As did Doon, the book ends leaving the reader anticipating the next installment in the series. Of course now I have to wait until next summer for it to come out!
